The headband is knitted, and the cherries croheted. I think Everything else was done very well, except the photo. I'm still at my mom's for the holidays, her camera isn't the best...**********************

My mom has very cold floors, so I had to crochet myself some Mary Jane slippers. I didn't use any particular pattern, I just kinda made it up as I wen't along. They should've been a little bit smaller, but it's ok since I usually wear them with socks.

Erittäin hienosti onnistunut huivi. Mummokin tykkäs. Miusta on jotenkin hirveen kiva neuloa kaikkia pitsijuttuja, mutta muutamaa poikkeusta lukuunottamatta, en itte oo juurikaan pitsin ystävä. Onneks voi aina neuloa muille ihmisille.*******************This Liesel-scarf I made for my granmother. I got it reasy on 24th, but luckily I didn's see my granny until the 26th, so I had time to block it and everything.

I think I did a great job. My granny really liked it too. I love knitting lacy things, but except for a few exceptions I don't really like wearing lacy stuff. It's a good thing I can always knit for other people.

Everyone else has done it, so I did it! I thought about doing in for a loooong time, but just didn't get around to it..until last week. I had to think of something to give my niece, so that's why I made that one. My fault really for teaching her that I always bring something when I visit her.When I stepped on the buss I had bodyparts+cottonstuffing (you know what I mean..)+needle with me. As you can see, when I stepped off the buss it was a whole another story.This amineko, that was named Pörri by a 7year old lady, is made out of unknown pink cotton yarn and novitas kotiväki colori yarn. It's filled with the fluffy cotton stuff and lentils... (I didn't have any damn plastic pellets the pattern called for. My stuffed animals always look kinda pissed off..

(kuvassa myös hieman miun söpösiä vaaleenpunasia kissapyjamahousuja, sekä pinkkiä peittoa)*******************'One of little joys in life: 2 skeins of free yarn, that would've cost me over 6€/skein in a store.I got them 'cos one of my simple little patterns was "published" in Novita's club website (a website for people who subscribe the Novita magazine). I could choose the yarn, so obviously I went for something expensive..and something black.

They didn't fit through the mailbox, and I wasn't home on friday when the postman tried to deliver it, so they left a note saying that i could pick it up in the post office. Today I finally got around to dragging my behind to the postoffice.

If these skeins don't just scream out: Södera!!! Then I don't know what does. It only takes a little more than a half skein to make the södera-socks, so quess I have to think of some other ways to use them too. I could crochet some pearl-type-thingys... I wont cast on for the socks before the holidays, I just ain't got time.

The yarn I used is Novita’s jasmine, but use any cotton/cotton blend yarn you’d knit with 3,5mm needlesNeedles: 3,5mm, US #4 (is it?) + 3,5mm crochet hookHeadband

CO 9 stsWork in seed stitch (every round: k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1), until it measures about 40cm (a little less than 16 inches). The length obviously depends on how big is your head…BO all sts

Next you take the hook, and you’re gonna make slip stitches aaaal around the headband.Start crocheting from one of the longer sides.When you get to the middle of one of the short sides do 1sc, then chain 33, turn, do sc in every chain sts + one sc in the same place you did the first sc before the chain. (Ta da! You’ve made the first ribbon, only one left and then you can tie the headband to your head)Continue making sl sts until you get to the other short side, and do the same ribbon thingy as you did before)Keep on making sl sts until you come to the spot where you started.Weave in ends

BowCO 7 sts work in seed st for 20 rowsBO all sts

For the little ribbon you wrap around the part you just made (in order to make a bow)CO 3sts, work in seed sts for 12rows.BO all sts

Wrap the little ribbon thingy around the bow thingy, and sew it on,Sew the bow on the headband, wear proud!

Yesterday I also made christmaspastries. I thought I'd do a little test on how many pastries one has to eat before they feel really sick, but 9 didn't quite cut it. Maybe it was the over eating that made me sleep 15 hours last night! Nobody sleeps that much.. Notice my lovely kitchen curtains on the backround, they used to belong to my granny.

I've got a little crohet frenzy going on. Last night I finished making a granny square scarf. Last summer I learned to crohet, and made a lots of granny squares, with the wild intetion of making a blanket.. As you can see, it didn't quite turn out like that. I still have to think ways to use 5 more squares
